The New Brunswick Physiotherapy Association (NBPA)
The New Brunswick Physiotherapy Association (NBPA) provides leadership and direction to members in New Brunswick and supports the mission of the CPA to foster excellence in practice, education and research and promote high standards of health in Canada.
As primary health care professionals, physiotherapists combine in-depth knowledge of how the body works with specialized hands-on clinical skills to assess, diagnose and treat symptoms of illness, injury or disability.
With your independence in mind, a physiotherapist’s goal is to restore, maintain and maximize your strength, function, movement and overall well-being.
In order to practice in Canada, physiotherapists must be registered with the regulatory board or college of physiotherapists in their province/territory. Only those who are registered may use the professional designations PT in Canada.
